When your to do list includes, "Send Mac in for repairs" because your macbook's disc drive is busted, but every time you see it, you get a little concerned that Macalaure's in trouble.

You know, Eönwë you might be addicted to the Downs when you start telling people that their symptoms of addiction are perfectly normal, and you don't have to worry about it.

When you read this and honestly don't even think of the real meaning until after thinking about it - hard - for a long time. (I use Windows, not Mac.)

When you're driving along and have to do a double take because you thought you saw the screen name of a fellow Downer on a sign....It happened to me twice today....

Oddly enough I have seen the name of a Downer on a street sign. There is a Lindale Road about a twenty-five minute drive from my house.

There's an Esty Street in Ithaca, NY. It's not nearly as nice and welcoming as the real Esty, though.

You know you're addicted to the Barrow-Downs when you are sitting in your maths class and the problem on the board is about a plane travelling to Barrow, and you first read it as the Barrow-Downs. I seriously must have been having hallucinations!

So I was prepping a lesson for youth group and was typing Boaz. Typed Boro instead.

(Then, after texting Boro about this, he convinced me to keep it on the page. So I was teaching and was like "What the heck?!")

Today in my Early Medieval History class my teacher was talking about Roland (some Medieval guy with a horn) and she said that anyone who is a Lord of the Rings fan (this sparked my interest and I jumped out of my boredum trance) should read the story about Roland because it would make Boromir's character "make more sense". I of course immediately thought of Boro88 and for a second was confused as to how my prof knew him, and then remembered the actual purpose of this website besides making cool friends, and made the whole connection to the horn and such....

Sign you're addicted to the Barrowdowns:

When you sit on a bus for 18 hours to go to a strange city in a strange country simply to meet people from the Downs.

And yes Wilwa I agree....but it was well worth the 18 hours!!

By the way, I will hopefully be posting part three of my take on Bostonmoot at some point...I've been way too busy to do anything and just started writing it last night before I got swept away on yet another adventure.
